Lets get testing guys, post your findings below
for anyone having problems downloading in your region, find file in attachment below.

Thanks, I will try in one moment xP

Do you know if it modifies kernel or interferes with setCPU?
I sent them a message about it, let's see what they say.

No it don't mess with kernel, I also don't think it adjust cpu frequency as I think it would need root permission, which this app don't require.

yepp, I installed it, and looks like what it does is that it organises when apps connect for sync and update, which sounds really good, and others don't do that.

yep, they said:
Thank you for your enquiry.
BatteryGuru does not modify the kernel or CPU settings in and way.

Sometimes lags very hard.

I use my phone more often as I don't have my tablet now and I saw a one thing with new Lollipop upgrade on my S5 Mini G800F. It sometimes lags very hardly quite often. It does not matter what I do (watching videos, browsing or just listening to music). I will explain more: it starts to lag(doesn't accept any buttons pressing while lagging), after couple of seconds it returns to the lockscreen and I need to unlock my phone. After unlocking, everything works fine without lags for some time (until it will not do it again).
After Lollipop update I did a factory reset so I did it 3-4 months ago and I don't think that's the issue. I have plenty of space, couple apps disabled, about 20 apps installed. It did not do this kind of thing when I was on KitKat.

If you have Facebook app installed, try removing it. You can use Lite or web browser.

I didn't install Facebook on my phone since last reset.

Well, I am using latest Lollipop (1.35GB total RAM) and no lags at all, but my phone is a G800H model. No root, just used Debloater to disable unwanted apps.

Actually all(I think) models have same 1.5GB RAM capacity. Only reserved RAM size differs. Look at this screenshot.

Nope, actually the first Lollipop versions from Samsung had only 1GB free RAM due to unusual debugging level setting... That's why most custom ROMs also have this problem, because they use the same source for kernel.

Checking out the phone

Hi all
so i have decided to buy P9
and i want to ask how is the performance and how is the camera shot
can someone give me some Pics ?
and the battery life is it really good ? how much would last if i'm using the phone only for browsing and calling ?
any advice to go with P9 single sim or Dual sim ?
does the NFC really needed or useful in anything beside payment ?

Cam is very good for photography, mediocre at video. Performance is excellent. Battery lasts me almost always two full work days.

Same here! Amazing phone, there is a whole thread with camera samples. With one word - GREAT. Totally worth the money and as a device the only other device that's better for me is the Pixel phone right now. But still I like the design of P9 more, so I would get it over the Pixel any day

Makeuseof. Com has an article about 9 things you can use NFC for that'll impress your friends.
Check it out

Can somebody check the performance of p9 and post the results in uxbench that is available playstore for free with no ads and is developed by me?
For now the fastest of all are mi5s and s7 edge exynos as you can see in compare tab. I wonder how well the kirin 955 performs in terms of cpu and generally ux performance.
The test is quick to complete about 2 minutes.

UXBench:

Thank you!
Excellent performance! 955 is as fast as 821 and exynos in single core and leads the multicore by far!
The little slow performance on nand write speed did not let it be the fastest phone in user experience! But single and multicore performance is really out of this world!

Excuse me for deleting the second run. I just keep the best performance for every device.

I have seen someone posted a test run with very high score. Until now Huawei P9 is the king of UXbench.
I will send a request in Mate 9 forum to ask somebody to test the device. I wonder how far can go the 960 chip.

Need Oreo Go for Lenovo A7000

Introducing Android Oreo (Go edition)​
A powerful experience for entry-level smartphones. It’s the best of Android, built with new and reimagined apps, so even the most affordable Android smartphones are as sweet as can be.
Built to use less
Brand new apps designed for lighter updates and downloads help create more space while significantly improving performance. That’s what we call a win, win.

Dude that's targeted for devices with low specs... About 512-1024MB RAM. Our device is not that low spec to use android go. Normal android will run just fine with no difference in performance. Instead it will only degrade the UX...
Think of it like this :
There's a game which needs 8gb RAM and 2gb GFX mem to run.
Now if you have two pc with following spec :
PC1 : 16gb RAM, 4gb GFX mem
PC2 : 32GB RAM, 4gb GFX mem
Do you think the game will run faster on PC2 than PC1? Not at all! Both of them already have the required amount of RAM. Both will be fluid and smooth and fast. The difference is almost zero and the most noticeable difference in them would be fps only (which is not comparable on our phone)
It would be unnecessary to waste time on making go edition when the normal edition works fast already.
I don't think anyone from my development group will make it.
However if we do make it under some circumstances in future, it would take months. Android 8 development has been going on from September. It still isn't out yet. Expect the same for go.

My Mi8 consistently gets worse 3DMark results compared to the rest

I switched to 12.5 ROM like a year ago after Xiaomi didn't deliver it as an update from the stock 12.0 ROM as they promised. I first checked the Google Pixel OS and did not enjoy the extremely basic UI then decided to turn back to MIUI since I actually like how it looks. While I was at it I decided to load the latest version possible.
I rooted the thing to experiment but ended up not being able to find much to gain with it since it is a failed product that didn't sell well, there were not many software stuff for it. Anyway out of curiosity I recently installed 3DMark and it performed very bad compared to average score. It looked like it wasn't boosting to max clock speeds so I tried forcing it to max clock speeds for both GPU and CPU with root Android toolbox. This somehow made it worse and get 800 points which is only better than %1 Mi8 phones that finished this test. So I reverted the changes and got the same 1140 ish score I got before. Tried testing it again while it was plugged to the charger with no difference. Max temperature was 33C which makes me believe it is not boosting to right clock speeds.
To be honest phone still feels ok to use and battery life is enough for me since I recently replaced the battery. So I will not be installing another OS if it is the only reason for the low score since I don't really care benchmark scores as long as I have a smooth experience. But I would like to know why it is so bad and if there is a way to solve the issue without re-flashing the whole thing. I also don't want to re-flash it since last time I tried loading back the stock ROM from the whole backup I created and it somehow randomly failed in the middle of it and corrupted the partition that was responsible to making it connect to SIM and Wifi and it was a pain in the ass to figure out what happened and fix it from the old save file I had.
I am also very bored by using this thing but don't really want to buy a new phone while they stagnated this much over the past years in terms of technological advancement. I am planning to make a custom 3D printed back for it and install like a 10K mah battery to BMS board of my old battery and unlock all the clock limits on the software to fully unlock its potential. Does anyone know where can I get a CAD file for this phone so I can design the stuff I need for this.
